Hi all, I finally got my 327 running in my 65 GMC. It was quite a conversion from the old 305 V6. The kids at my local High School auto shop...
OK. I found the stray wire thanks for everyones help. The wire form the starter coil that was disconnect was put on the + terminal of the Dist...
Hell yes JohnEvans. It worked. I ran a wire from the + on the battery to the + on the coil. The engine started right up. I shut the key off and it...
Does that mean I should swap the wires on the small posts?:confused: I retarded the Dist and it is much better but wont continue running. It...

I have added a pict that I took while the high school had it up on the rack. The blue section which is the back of the block uses the vertical...
I currently have the staggered 2 bolts vertical. That one does not work.
They didn't count it when they put it in and without dropping the Tranny I don't believe there would be a way to find out. Is there? Thanks, Mark
I will have to get out there for pics if the rain ever lets up. I had just figured someone had some input for now. Thanks, Mark

The only difference would be that the alternator is a 4 wire alternator not a one wire.
Cool. The link is quite helpful. Now I have to either get up early in the morning or sweat it out in the sun. Thanks Guys.
Yes it is somewhat helpful and informative. It is lacking the starter and coil, but I think I can use this and some other things to try and get it...

Thanks, That will save me a headache when I get the correct starter. If it doesn't fit after this I will tell them to drill out a hole large...
